Kung gusto mong magtravel abroad, marami kang advantages na makukuha kapag bakunado ka na. Kailangan mo lang alalahanin na kahit tinatanggap sa buong Pilipinas ang iyong vaccination card o certificate na nakuha mo sa iyong siyudad o LGU, hindi ito tatanggapin sa ibang bansa. Kung gusto mo ng dokumento na gagana sa buong mundo bilang prueba ng iyong pagkabakuna, edi kakailanganin mo ng dokumentong tinatawag na International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICV). Iyon ang tinatawag ng iba na “vaccine passport”.

Kahit hindi ito mahalagang requirement sa ibang bansa, magiging mas madali ang proseso ng iyong paglakbay abroad kung mayroon ka nito. Halimbawa, sa ibang bansa hindi mo na kakailanganing mag-quarantine, at sa iba naman hindi mo na kailangan ng negatibong resulta sa mga test. Minsan bibigyan ka pa ng discounts. Kahit ano pa man, kung bakunado ka naman na at pangarap mong maglakbay abroad, mabuti nang kumuha ka na rin nito. Mura lang naman at madali rin ang proseso. Eto ang paraan kung paano makakuha ng International Certificate of Vaccination sa Pilipinas.

Pangunahing Pangangailangan o Requirements:

Vaccination card/proof of vaccination mula sa iyong LGU.
Isang valid ID (Driver’s License, Postal ID, atbp.)
Passport (na may higit sa 6 months na validity.)
Email address para sa iyong ICV.BOQ.PH account.

Mga Kailangang Gawin (Pinaikling Listahan):

Idagdag ang iyong impormasyon sa profile section.
I-upload ang mga scan o photo ng iyong valid ID, mga vaccination card, at passport.

If you want to travel abroad, then getting vaccinated can give you a lot of perks and advantages. You have to remember though that while the vaccination card or certificate you got from your city or LGU works all over the Philippines, it is not recognized abroad. If you want a document that is recognized all over the world as proof of vaccination, then you will need something called an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICV), which is what some people think of as a “vaccine passport”.

While it’s not an absolute requirement for some countries, having one will definitely make travel much easier. For example, in some countries it will let you skip quarantine requirements and/or negative testing requirements. Sometimes you can even get discounts. In any case, if you are already vaccinated and you want to travel abroad soon, then it’s definitely a good idea to get one. It’s relatively cheap and easy to get anyway. Here’s how to get an International Certificate of Vaccination in the Philippines.

Main Requirements:

Vaccination card/proof of vaccination from your LGU.
One valid ID (Driver’s License, Postal ID, etc.)
Passport (with at least 6 months validity.)
Email address for your ICV.BOQ.PH account.

Main Steps (Short Version):

Register at icv.boq.ph.
Add your information at the profile section.
Upload scans or photos of your valid ID, vaccination card(s), and passport.
Schedule an appointment.
Pay online to confirm your appointment.
Bring your original vaccination cards, ID, and passport to your BOQ appointment and show them to the BOQ personnel.

Tax. Lahat ay nagbabayad ng tax. Nagbabayad ka ng tax kapag sumasahod ka (depende sa TRAIN law), nagbabayad ka ng tax kapag nagnenegosyo ka, at nagbabayad ka ng tax kapag bumibili ka sa mga tindahan. Hindi mo maiiwasan ang tax dahil dito kumikita ang gubyerno.

Balang araw, kakailanganin mong kumuha ng Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) mula sa Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), at ito ang TIN na gagamitin mo habang buhay. Isang TIN lang ang pwede mong makuha dahil ilegal magkaroon ng maraming TIN.

Bakit mo kailangan ng TIN? Maraming government, bank, o iba pang opisyal na transaksyon ang nangangailangan ng TIN. Sa panahon din ngayon na pwede kang kumita online, kung gusto mong magsimula ng online business, mag-freelance, o kumita sa YouTube o kaya maging isang Twitch streamer, kailangan mo ng TIN para mag-monetize at kumita ng pera.

Ito ang paraan kung paano kumuha ng TIN at TIN ID dito sa Pilipinas.

Taxes. Everyone pays taxes. You pay taxes whenever you earn a salary (depending on the TRAIN law), you pay taxes when you operate a business, and you even pay taxes when you’re buying something from the store. Taxes are an unavoidable part of modern life as it’s how governments earn money.

You will, at some point in your life, have to get a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), and it’ll be the one you will use for the rest of your life. You can only have ONE TIN by the way as it’s illegal to have more.

Why do you need a TIN? There are lots of government, bank, or other official transactions where you’ll need to provide one, and in today’s online gig economy, if you want to start an online business, do freelance work online, or even earn money as a YouTube or Twitch Streamer, you’ll need to have a TIN to monetize and start earning money.

Here’s how to get a TIN and a TIN ID here in the Philippines.

[Self-Employed] Paano Mag-file at Magbayad ng BIR Annual Fee Online

February 3, 2021 by Ray L. 1 Comment

Bilang isang self-employed na blogger, kailangan kong magrehistro sa Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) at magbayad ng buwis sa gubyerno. Bukod sa pagbibigay ng mga resibo at pagbayad ng buwis, kailangan ko rin magbayad ng registration fee na P500 taon taon (yun ang presyo ngayong Enero ng 2021) at kailangan ko itong bayaran bago mag Pebrero para hindi ako pagmultahin. Kung ikaw ay self-employed katulad ko, kailangan mo ring bayaran iyon.

Noong pumunta ako sa BIR RDO (Revenue District Office) kung saan ako nakarehistro para magbayad ng registration fee, sinabi sa akin ng isang matulunging empleyado na kailangan ko itong i-file online gamit ang eBIR, tapos kailangan kong bayaran ito sa isang accredited na bangko o sa GCash. Nagpapasalamat ako at itinuro ng empleyado sa front desk kung ano ang mga kailangan kong pindutin at ilagay na datos sa eBIR forms gamit ang kanilang 0605 payment form.
